Muddy Waters no more.....Muddy Fox.....the early Years.

[drcarlos]

Perhaps we could load up all the catalogues here..., I have a selection of them, but im sure most are here now. Might be nice for quick comparisons, and they are easier to copy and paste, than using PDF format from archives. And they would all be in one place too....? Just a thought.

1988 - http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewto ... =muddy+fox

1989 - http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewto ... =muddy+fox

1990 - http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewto ... =muddy+fox

1991 - http://www.retrobike.co.uk/gallery2/v/M ... 1.pdf.html

Think that's it.

Jim, you just need one of these to complete your '88 lineup:

You won't find it in any catalogues though!

Andy, I very nearly bought the other one that come up a few months back.
For now I'm just sticking to the brochure bikes lol lol

I'm sure that will change though.

Saying that I'm going to sell my 89 Courier (non comp version).

Carl, if you want a copy of the 1990 catalogue I can send you it. I picked it u from eBay a little while ago

I had a white Courier - I put one of those MF plastic discs on the rear, at the time it was the thing to do, however what ever you do do not put another on the front...yup did it and the wind blew me North....here is a vintage shot of the bike before I decided to put the discs in...and add a Brooks saddle - don't ask why I look so happy...it may have been the bleach smoothie...

what a great thread i remember my first muddy fox exactly the one above and due to my impatience for it to be delivered by lynx on the monday i went to there depot in birmingham by train and collected it. what a site it must of looked when a man turns up to this big warehouse asking for a bike in which it was unheard of to collect from there depot and they search for over an hour and came out into the yard with this big 6ft box and said wheres your car and i said I'm on foot and he said oh you just up the road then and i said no I'm going back to coventry. I have never seen a man hoof it off so fast back into the depot. i was left standing with a 6ft box which to make matters worse i opened and that was the end of that box being all secure, but i picked it up and walked proud through birmingham bullring to my train which incurred several hundred rest stops and then got on a bus with it at the other end, the bus driver had no chance of saying you can't bring that on here after what i had been through.

It was all worth it i spent the night building that bike while taking endless breaks in-between just to marvel at the pure white paint. i never rode it the next day due to the fact that i just could not stop staring at it and then i woke up monday morning and rode to work at the bike shop and then nearly got the sack due to me not taking note of customers repairs and polishing my bike again for the 80th time. all that just to have it 24hrs earlier.

oh what a bike, and then i got an explorer but thats another tale in itself.

thanks andy
